@mckseal Not sure I catch the meaning of "variable light sources". Do you mean if reflects the light that comes at it from various angles, all at once? I think that would probably make sense then....and come to think of it, I guess that is what the mesh U were speaking about probably does....it 'reflects'(or perhaps more accurately it projects) light at various angles, rather than just being flat. So I suppose that mesh Idea is actually closer to replicating a mirror than I first thought!!
yeah, but mirrors have variable light sources (and i dont mean light as in bright i mean objects). All scientists need to do is make the mesh much smaller, this will increase resolution and make the distance needed to see 3d (and not just two of the same, or two weird) images. Unfortunately mesh is already expensive... high density mesh, forget it.
@mckseal Yeah, I think I heard about that. The 10 meter thing is a bit of a problem though! LOL! I think I'd rather just use the glasses! Perhaps someday they will make a system that works without glasses that is also as easy and practicle to use...after all a mirror reflects images in perfect 3-D naturally(but the image is reversed of course)....it seems almost odd that someone has not figured out how to reproduce that effect artificially.
actually they have managed to get tvs working in a similar way to holograms, its not the same by any means but it uses a particulate mesh that halves the resolution instead of fps and gives 3d without glasses. Downside, you have to be 10 or more meters away.
@frankensteinmoneymac@TheyCallMeWaffle: The spacial imaging group at MIT has developed a system for full motion holography playback (In color too). Last time I heard about it it was fairly low resolution, but it is enough to prove the concept. The source holograms were CGH (computer generated).
It is currently more of a problem to capture and transport the data than to reproduce it, but in theory if you can build a CCD and LCD with adequate resolution, they could capture and display holograms.
@TheyCallMeWaffle Unfortunately its a bit harder than just having a perfect holographic film. First someone would have to figure out how to make the film in such a way that it can practicaly record a series of images quickly (prob around 24 frames per sec or so)....that in itself would be quite difficult, but the hardest part would be either projecting, or otherwise displaying those series of quickly moving images on some sort of screen, or even in the air...and is it more practicle than reg 3D?
I read about this process years ago...it was quite an interesting article.... The first time that this guy introduced his holograms at a large conferance about Holographic Science...I remember reading that some of the Scientists actually had a very hard time believing it was real! One Sci. in the audience was qouted as saying..."I couldnt understand why this guy brung a bug collection to lecture on holograms"....it wasnt until the lecture started that he realized that it WAS a hologram! LOL

these are real, but quite expensive
